Anyone ever had this?
I've had this when extremely tired, every time I was dropping off I felt strongly like I was falling. It was actually damned scary

Certainly I've only had it maybe a couple of times when really exhausted, I wouldn't recommend it. I had a cycle of dropping off, horrifying feeling I was falling into the bed, waking up in a panic, then doing the same again.

I was sent home from work today for passing out and being unconscious for 3 to 4 minutes. It has never happened before I was on a first aid course and for a few seconds everyone thought I was taking the pi55.
It scared me I came around and had no idea that I had been out. |

Had that sensation a few times JC but then again I'm getting old.
 Paddy have you started a diet or stopped drinking as passing out often occurs when you change your eating or drinking habits although 3/4 minutes wouldn't be the norm, more like 10/20 seconds. |

You are probably unconsciously (forgive the pun) worrying about the deficit.  |

If I was passing out for no reason I'd be seeing the doctor pronto.
Do you drive or cycle or operate machinery? It could easily be fatal, indirectly. |

I wish I could lucid dream, every time I realise I'm dreaming I wake up

Get on to Co-codamol for a few weeks, then enjoy your dreams.

The sense of falling just after going to sleep is called a hypnic jerk. The brain is sending a message to the muscles to rebalance themselves.

There are a lot of jerks on here.

I dreamt that I ate a giant marshmallow last night.
When I woke up I had a sore throat and my pillow was gone. |

I've had that 'falling' feeling too, but the most scary thing of all when you're tired is that truly horrible 'sleep paralysis' thing. I used to get it a lot back in the 90s during a period of extreme stress. Thank the Lord it's gone away since.
